Council and board

The “Old” Council finished their work with the move in 1994 from a large seminar to a high quality symposium, smaller in numbers. Because of the start of the new association, this board was enlarged and was asked to make proposals for the content, size, direction etc. of the upcoming symposia. (N.B. The concept of the CA-Seminar/Symposium is owned by the foundation Christian Artists, which acts merely as ‘guardian angel’ for content and finances. This foundation has a board: Leen La Rivière, Ria La Rivière and Marinus den Harder. This CA-foundation (Stichting Christian Artists) owns the name, concept and logo, all registered properly at the European trade mark office.The board has advisors: Leo Pauwels (former EZA president), Joachim Herudek (former EZA gemeral-secretary), Magiel La Rivière (former CA managing-director).)

Every member represents a section of the arts (music, performing, visual). Since 1994 member organizations can propose new council members who are elected for a minimum of 4 years. In bold the present boardmembers.
